So, the rake has to be used in conjunction with chemicals – iron has to be used to kill the moss before you eventually remove the dead plant by scarifying. Raking live moss just spreads it around, as it’s a very hardy plant and spreads by spores. One big mistake is thinking that a rake is the solution.
